The chapter further explores in detail the major e-learning platforms, initiatives, and projects throughout the country. Information is additionally provided on accreditation, teacher training programs, and the regulatory framework of e-learning. Finally, the author speculates on the future development of e-learning in Algeria. A comprehensive bibliography on e-learning scholarship related to the country, including government reports and websites, appears at the end of the chapter.
